Synthetic aperture systems; Proceedings of the Meeting, San Diego, CA, August 25, 26, 1983
Abstract
Synthetic aperture concepts are discussed, taking into account a synthetic aperture beam control system, a coherent optical system of modular imaging collectors providing an approach for a large aperture high angular resolution telescope in space, multimirror telescope alignment systems which employ fan beams and translation insensitive interferometers, translation insensitive heterodyne interferometers, and a synthetic aperture phase measurement system using a metering rod bridge with corner cubes. Topics related to design, simulation, and analysis are also explored, giving attention to a physical understanding of synthetic aperture arrays via simple models, design and performance of ranging telescopes, performance and phasing of multiline synthetic apertures, a computer model for evaluating synthetic aperture propogation, image-plane phase sensing for phased array telescopes, the testing of large telescope systems using multiple subapertures, and the influence of higher order noise in wavefront reconstruction. Synthetic aperture experiments are also considered.
